Mystery books are different because they are written in a style that engages the reader in a way that they become much more than an observer: they assume part of the investigative component of the story; trying to figure out from the facts, who committed the crime or offence. whodunnit! The author will use a variety of plot techniques and devices, many similar to those used in thrillers, but with more emphasis on concealing the identity of the perpetrator or concealing facets of a crime in order to keep the reader guessing. The primary character is usually a detective or private eye, who in order to solve the crime, compiles a list of suspects likely to have motive and opportunity. In some mystery novels there does not have to be a crime: the protagonist is tasked to find the reason why something has occurred, as in supernatural mysteries.
